Clone Hero...over 5000 songs in my library, including every song from every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game ever made + DLC...for free...it's a no-brainer.
@@kirkprospector4958 If you go out of your way to go find the "shitty meme charts" then that's what you'll find. I downloaded 5000+ songs of setlists and literally have only come across maybe 50 meme charts. The vast majority of the charts are actual songs that never made it into the official game despite being very popular, or the opposite, obscure but cool to play.

Got GH3 and all after that. Metallica is by far the game I have played the most AND still to this day I play it. Every dream came tru that day I got it. And Live hade soooo much good music ofc talking about the TV part. If anyone know a link to a 5 button edition of those songs to Clone Hero plz let me know. Or any full album of any Melodic Metal or Metalcore, Falling in Reverse any song and 2 last albums from Buller for My Valentine still ofc to Clone Hero
My go to games back in the day were Guitar Hero, Halo and COD. I miss those days. Also, I have to say that Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and Smash Hits were two of the heaviest Guitar Hero soundtracks ever put out. I loved them.
Smash Hits wasn't all that heavy, but decent soundtrack. Although some of those re-charts aren't nearly as good as the originals. Warriors of rock had a really great soundtrack, but the gameplay wasn't as good. Alot of those songs are overcharted just for the sake of being stupid hard. Those Megadeth songs and Fury of The Storm really put Through The Fire and Flames to shame.
I remember guitar hero was the first time I heard "one" by Metallica. I was thinking why it was one of the last songs, as it wasn't that hard. Then the double bass kicked in and I was eh not too bad. Then the solo hit and I proceeded to jump out of my window and try to comprehend wtf was going on. Good times. Now I love metallica
I am sad to say I abandoned guitar hero after world tour however I do owe a lot to guitar hero. After completing most of the games on expert and craving more of a challenge I picked up a real guitar and have now been a guitar player for over a decade. If it weren’t for guitar hero I’d have never found my passion
Similar story here... I got real good on Rock Band expert pro drums, so I ditched the games (including the band versions of Guitar Hero), and took up the drums.

@@GabbieTheFox saw one at Dave n Busters and after a few drinks, I played several games on expert. Muscle memory picked up and I was doing really well. A little crowed gathered to watch me play the harder songs. I start talking a little shit on the side, asking anyone to challenge me. Dude that worked for the place comes up all quietly and asks to play once, he scans his employee card so that the game was free. He tells me to pick, so I pick the song I was best at as a kid - literally played this song hundreds of times, had it down pat. He fucking 100%'s the song first try without a hiccup and like doubles my score by star powering at all the right places. Cut me a slice of humble pie real fucking quick lol
Actually, today I played with my friends World Tour for a while, which is my fav GH. I haven´t stopped playing GH since it's release and I will play it as long as I have access to the instruments. Off course Clone Hero is a huge contribution to the gaming too. I have tons of songs and I sometimes sync the original video clips to the song, which is waaaaay too cool to play it like that. I´m a die hard fan of this games and I don´t see myself quitting any time soon
@@TheClassicWorld dont get it either, playing on clone hero is like 10 times easier than console and especially the earlier ones. N8t the same feeling either
@@Lynk713 Can't beat the feeling of the classic GH2 on PS2 or the GH3 guitar on PS3/Xbox 360. So great. Personally, I mostly play GH3 on Xbox 360 now. Though I do own about 15 GH/RB games in total and 7 guitars (from PS2 to Wii, and the Beatles guitar, as well, which feels great and different). I think Guitar Hero 2 is one of my most played video games of all time. Loved it ever since I first got into it around 2007 or whatever. I even love the DS version (from around the same time), though it is pretty easy and gets boring if you're inside -- may as well play console. It was great with friends and when outside. Still, love the series, for sure, and would never trade it for Clone Hero or anything. Nice to see a classic console-user here. :)
Of it wasn't for guitar hero i would've never tried to play guitar at 9 years old, this game will always be in my memories for giving me one of the best hobbies ever
Seeing those cutscenes and videos from legends of rock were so nostalgic and really brought me back to my younger days when I would play the shit out of it for hours on end
Congrats for the vid man, just one thing: you forgot to mention one guitar hero: guitar hero smash hits, which has launched for ps3 and xbox 360 and promised to have the best guitar hero 1,2 and 3 songs. It's more a Guitar Hero World Tour dlc, but I like to play guitar hero 1 and 2 songs on it, because I only have ps3, so I like to play Cowboys from hell, Bark at the moon and more GH 1 and 2 classics on it.
Guitar hero got me interested in playing a real guitar, so what i did to get myself motivated to practice the guitar was RockSmith, and its actually real fun, much more than GH
i still have my ps2 and all the guitar hero games (up until guitar hero 3) still plays perfectly and it’s so addicting once again. i’m so glad we never got rid of all the games like so many people did. the nostalgia is real.
I was born way too late.. god i wish i was born in the 90s and not 2006. it seemed fun to live during this era. I still play guitar hero III on the PS2 today. I raised myself well.
My favourite was always Rock Band 2. Was in my 2nd year of University, going round my girlfriends house with her housemates, all playing the different instruments, all getting good enough so at least someone could do one instrument on expert. Downloading loads of songs, customizing the band. I really had fun with Guitar Hero 3 as well but there's something extra about the "band" experience. I dusted off my old copy of Rock Band 2 recently to take round my friends for their kids to play and to them it's all new stuff, they're loving it. The games are still extremely fun, it is a shame they got crazily over saturated and died off. I would love a new Rock Band or Guitar Hero with the full band to come out that just had hundreds of songs already included, revisit those classics. Some fantastic memories with those games.
I liked guitar hero live, I got it soon after it came out and enjoyed the fresh guitar setup. It was a new challenge that I appreciated especially since half a decade earlier I was playing gh3 on expert as an elementary schooler. I didn’t mind playing the radio songs to get points to pick the songs I played. The main things I didn’t like were the controllers whose strum bars always broke and the fact that there was no practice mode. Many years later I’ve picked up clone hero and it’s better than any guitar hero game I’ve played in the past, which was all of them by the way.
I used to play GH2 on PS2. And I just bought a guitar and GH 5 and 6 and also Rockband 2 and 3. Can't wait to play it all again! Was really difficult to find a guitar with the USB dongle and not too expensive...
I’d dreaded clicking on this video because I thought it was literally just gonna be a slideshow of guitar hero gameplay, but this was actually really cool. Gj.
Unpopular opinion: Warriors of Rock is the best guitar hero game. It has Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and Uprising by Muse along with probably having the best interface and graphic style. Plus it has all 4 instruments and each of them work as smooth as ever.
Agreed. I think it plays the best out of all the official games, the setlist was awesome (especially with the import DLC from other games), the quest mode was cool, online was better than before, you could play two or more of the same instrument on co-op, etc.
For me, the top three are Legends Of Rock, GH5 and Warriors Of Rock. They had the most polished mechanics, the most content, and the best graphics and character models!
I have guitar hero III installed on my PC still, just like GTA San Andreas. They're not the best games but they are perfect in what they provided If they remade GTA San Andreas with the current graphics and GHIII with like all the songs you can think off, I'd really buy that
Oek Foh clone hero is basically that for free. You do need to look up tutorials on how to add songs because because it only has a couple built-in songs. But if you want easy way to add some songs I’ll just say a small tutorial. First go to the clone hero spreadsheet (I’ll post a link to it when I get to a computer) you can download a lot of songs off of it, and you can download different setlists with most of the guitar hero Games songs available to download. Then you just need to put the Files in the songs folder. That is in the clone hero folder when you download it. One of the main downsides of clone hero that turned away some people is that there aren’t background graphics but if you just want to Play a good guitar hero game, you should download clone hero. Make sure to look up tutorials to figure out how to set up the game. I hope you see this.
Still got Guitar Hero 2&3 with Guitar ditto for Rock Band and all 3 game , I also have 2 DJ hero Turn Table with DJ hero 1&2. I loved these back in the day and they will be fun to go back and use again over the years as funny time capsules.
I had guitar hero 3 while my brothers and cousins had the original and GT2 and I remember coming home for lunch in elementary just to play it and practise through the fire and flames lmfao good times
I'll tell you what happened to Guitar Hero. It was initially targeting an older, heavier base. Black Sabbath, Slayer, etc. When Activision purchased it, they had this bright idea of aiming to younger, mainstream bases, compare the setlists from GH1-2-3 and the following, GH5, Band Hero, GH Live, these last ones have lighter and more "pop-ish" songs that don't call to the consolidated fandom of GH, BRO KATY PERRY IS NOT SOMETHING TO PLAY ON A GUITAR FFS, WE PLAY ROCK AND HEAVY METAL ON A GUITAR. When Activision realized that they have bet on the wrong horse, they did the same crap they did to Singstar, close the servers that enabled people to have the chance to play the songs they were actually hoping to get, and kill the game. Now, people like me that played GH from the first game until the Guitar control/Controller allowed, can't even play it, or can barely do it because they are no longer fabricated, leaving us it secondhanded options that rarely function, and that makes me very sad because I really loved the game...
GH3 was my first guitar hero game, LOVED it, World Tour was awesome and I went nuts customizing characters, and I really liked Warriors of Rock because you gotta love those character tf's. I got Live, and while I liked the realism, those controls, man.. not the same
I remember sitting on the couch eating chicken biscuits watching my dad play the game and now after several years im out here beating all of his Highscores
Not to mention the guitar that came with GH2 was the best on ever released. Kept it through the entirety of my "career", bought half a dozen more in between and none were as good as that one. Also, impulse was the best song ever put on any guitar hero, change my mind.
Let's not forget that a PC RockBand did come out... But it was just RockBand 3 but in VR I guess... And you needed a RockBand 4 controller to play it... It was still a cool idea tho
Well, they made GH with GH 3, right? How did they ruin it if they made GH 3? Also, the other fellows went off and made Rock Band which is much worse (although drums and keyboard are great).
Legit i remember when Guitar Hero first came out my dad got it randomly on PS2 and man we both spent hours and hours playing I played more than my dad cause I was still a yougin at the time but when Guitar Hero II came out that’s when I dedicated my life to playing this and Rock Band lol man I miss these days tho this is what really brought me and my friends together sadly we don’t talk anymore but man I just miss these days being a teen in this era was the best 💜
I believe it was on GH1 engine, as the HOPO's were a lot more strict than GH2. And it was released quickly due to the purchase of RedOctane, so Harmonix had to get it out before they were separated to Rock Band franchise.
The recent World Tour mod has made me get into GH again, shits fun. Even with the ridiculous shit you can do like adding Luigi from Mario and making him sing Bohemian Rhapsody has breathed some nice fresh air into the game, at least for me.
*I love guitar hero and rockband back in the day and i was really excited in 2015 for the guitar hero live realease and rock band 4 i buy the gh live but* It wasnt what i expected just it wasnt that funny it was cool at the begining but i get tired very quickly of the game
I'm glad they aren't going to make a new Guitar Hero. Rock Band is still alive and well for console play, and Clone Hero us an utter beast amongst PC. All we'd get out of a new GH is a shoddy, half-assed controller like the Live guitar
It really does suck, BUT. You can actually download every guitar hero live + TV song that's ever been released (and also unreleased songs!) and play them on Clone hero! There's a 6 button mode in the game and it works just fine. Plus it's stupid easy to hook up to your pc, since you can use the xbox 360 GHL dongle no matter what console guitar you have!
I just started playing it after a few years. It was my favorite of all GH games, I even preferred it over RB. I was happy when I found out they were gonna make a new GH but then got sad when it was GH live. It just wasn't the same. They could have just ported over the same graphics from WoR but added new songs. That would have been okay for me.
honestly rock band 1 was my favourite. I loved everything about it, including the campaign mode and saving up dollars for crazy looking outfits and instruments.
I think one of the things that made GHL fail so hard was pushing the background visuals. I guess they didn't realize that people usually care more about the gameplay, and not for what's happening in the back. Hence a lot of people just disabled them through mods and external configs (and also to get rid of the 60 fps lock).
4 years after this video uploaded I am here to say, Clone hero grew a lot and now lots of these guitars, specifically xbox360 and xbox one versions, are expensive everywhere. Drums too
Since my parents are metalheads, they bought me and my siblings Guitar Hero Metallica for christmas. It‘s now 13 years later and I‘m still playing it, because I am a metalhead myself. Sad to see, how it went downhill. „Sad but True“
I think it started to get over-saturated for me when they started reusing the same songs just with "updated" charts to the songs Thank god for clone hero !
The biggest problem warriors of rock had was that the guitar that came with it was garbage. Oversaturation and the trend just dieing out certainly played a major part in it not selling well, but the main problem was reviewers were telling people not to buy it, because the guitar it came with just sucked. And if they couldn't get the controller right, what would make anyone think the game was any good? And honestly that's kinda sad, because warriors of rock was arguably the best in the series. They made a guitar hero that catered to the hard core fans, and those ended up being the only ones that bought it. I bought warriors of rock on release day, and poured thousands of hours into it. Great game. Terrible controller.
The console transition during this time really helped guitar hero be fine tuned with its gameplay but the bigger transition mark had to be the switch from cover songs to master recordings.
Clone Hero is The only Thing Keeping GH alive

@@GabbieTheFox I PLAYED THAT! It's what got me into Guitar Hero.
Nostalgia, I still have that laying around somewhere.
@@GabbieTheFox saw one at Dave n Busters and after a few drinks, I played several games on expert. Muscle memory picked up and I was doing really well. A little crowed gathered to watch me play the harder songs. I start talking a little shit on the side, asking anyone to challenge me. Dude that worked for the place comes up all quietly and asks to play once, he scans his employee card so that the game was free. He tells me to pick, so I pick the song I was best at as a kid - literally played this song hundreds of times, had it down pat. He fucking 100%'s the song first try without a hiccup and like doubles my score by star powering at all the right places. Cut me a slice of humble pie real fucking quick lol
I was at an arcade playing it and I wrecked a seventeen year old on Miss Murder
Actually, today I played with my friends World Tour for a while, which is my fav GH. I haven´t stopped playing GH since it's release and I will play it as long as I have access to the instruments. Off course Clone Hero is a huge contribution to the gaming too. I have tons of songs and I sometimes sync the original video clips to the song, which is waaaaay too cool to play it like that. I´m a die hard fan of this games and I don´t see myself quitting any time soon
Yessir world tour is the best metallica one is fun to tho hope u still enjoying this jem
They need to remake one of the original 3 Guitar Hero's...
Hopelazz clone hero..
@@CommonG Clone Hero is not a remake of GH 1-3, so, it doesn't count towards the statement they made and it's only for PC, right.
@@TheClassicWorld dont get it either, playing on clone hero is like 10 times easier than console and especially the earlier ones. N8t the same feeling either
@@Lynk713 Can't beat the feeling of the classic GH2 on PS2 or the GH3 guitar on PS3/Xbox 360. So great. Personally, I mostly play GH3 on Xbox 360 now. Though I do own about 15 GH/RB games in total and 7 guitars (from PS2 to Wii, and the Beatles guitar, as well, which feels great and different).
I think Guitar Hero 2 is one of my most played video games of all time. Loved it ever since I first got into it around 2007 or whatever. I even love the DS version (from around the same time), though it is pretty easy and gets boring if you're inside -- may as well play console. It was great with friends and when outside. Still, love the series, for sure, and would never trade it for Clone Hero or anything.
Nice to see a classic console-user here. :)
@@Lynk713 Also, yeah, GH 1 and 2 on PS2 are pretty hard compared to some of the later stuff, for sure.
Of it wasn't for guitar hero i would've never tried to play guitar at 9 years old, this game will always be in my memories for giving me one of the best hobbies ever
Same! got me into actually playing guitar!
It's really sad that Warriors Of Rock failed miserably, because that's the best Guitar Hero game ever! (Right behind GH3)
IKR
Its even better than GH5!
Don't forget Smash Hits 😉
Agree. So good. Has 2112 and Fury of the Storm, just iconic.
Seeing those cutscenes and videos from legends of rock were so nostalgic and really brought me back to my younger days when I would play the shit out of it for hours on end
Rock Band 4 still release weekly DLC to this day, so I'm glad at least it's still plodding along.
Congrats for the vid man, just one thing: you forgot to mention one guitar hero: guitar hero smash hits, which has launched for ps3 and xbox 360 and promised to have the best guitar hero 1,2 and 3 songs. It's more a Guitar Hero World Tour dlc, but I like to play guitar hero 1 and 2 songs on it, because I only have ps3, so I like to play Cowboys from hell, Bark at the moon and more GH 1 and 2 classics on it.
Rock band 2 and 3 had the best online multiplayer. I still play rock band 3 on xbox 360.
Wanna play sometime?
Do you have Rock Band 4?
If you down to play, add me on 360. Kravza. I have 800+ DLC songs
I have 900 dlc and decent at guitar/bass add me if you have dlc too please. Hard ro find people to plsy with.
Gt: boamb
My gamertag is "Demon Dover". 900 dlc songs. Expert drums.
Loved guitar hero 3, still remember my old band name, grey scarf. It was called that because I was wearing... a grey scarf lol
I enjoyed playing guitar hero to my band was called wolfblood
Guitar hero live killed the franchise
Holly shit that game was bad
It was already dead
No guitar hero live spit on the grave
@@RecountDaFox1 no its not lol
Activision did
Guitar hero got me interested in playing a real guitar, so what i did to get myself motivated to practice the guitar was RockSmith, and its actually real fun, much more than GH

Activision milking a franchise of all its worth while simultaneously killing it? Never would’ve guessed.
i still have my ps2 and all the guitar hero games (up until guitar hero 3) still plays perfectly and it’s so addicting once again. i’m so glad we never got rid of all the games like so many people did. the nostalgia is real.
I was born way too late.. god i wish i was born in the 90s and not 2006. it seemed fun to live during this era. I still play guitar hero III on the PS2 today. I raised myself well.
Born 06 as well still have my ride or dies over to play this on 360
My favourite was always Rock Band 2. Was in my 2nd year of University, going round my girlfriends house with her housemates, all playing the different instruments, all getting good enough so at least someone could do one instrument on expert. Downloading loads of songs, customizing the band. I really had fun with Guitar Hero 3 as well but there's something extra about the "band" experience. I dusted off my old copy of Rock Band 2 recently to take round my friends for their kids to play and to them it's all new stuff, they're loving it. The games are still extremely fun, it is a shame they got crazily over saturated and died off. I would love a new Rock Band or Guitar Hero with the full band to come out that just had hundreds of songs already included, revisit those classics. Some fantastic memories with those games.
12:20 the franchise was stale because we had rocksmith. We didnt have to pretend to play a guitar, we could learn how to.
I liked guitar hero live, I got it soon after it came out and enjoyed the fresh guitar setup. It was a new challenge that I appreciated especially since half a decade earlier I was playing gh3 on expert as an elementary schooler. I didn’t mind playing the radio songs to get points to pick the songs I played. The main things I didn’t like were the controllers whose strum bars always broke and the fact that there was no practice mode. Many years later I’ve picked up clone hero and it’s better than any guitar hero game I’ve played in the past, which was all of them by the way.
They should just make a remastered version of GuitarHero 1 2 & 3
For present day hardware :)
My favourite Guitar Hero was a tie between Guitar Hero 3 and Warriors of Rock, and my favourite Rock Band was Rock Band 3.
Honestly they could have thrived with 1 2 3 and 6 cause those were the best ones
I used to play GH2 on PS2. And I just bought a guitar and GH 5 and 6 and also Rockband 2 and 3. Can't wait to play it all again! Was really difficult to find a guitar with the USB dongle and not too expensive...
Your channel is underrated and deserves more subscribers
This was a really great video. I was expecting a generic random gameplay clips in a timeline type video, but was pleasantly surprised.
I really want to see one more guitar hero game for the current generation (or next). Just one more, back to original controls. I’d be happy with that.
Lamar Anderson you should download clone hero
I’d dreaded clicking on this video because I thought it was literally just gonna be a slideshow of guitar hero gameplay, but this was actually really cool. Gj.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I like Guitar Hero
So will you!
What's crazy is Warriors of Rock is still my favorite Guitar Hero game to this day... It was like a love letter to the dedicated fans
Unpopular opinion: Warriors of Rock is the best guitar hero game. It has Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and Uprising by Muse along with probably having the best interface and graphic style. Plus it has all 4 instruments and each of them work as smooth as ever.
Agreed. I think it plays the best out of all the official games, the setlist was awesome (especially with the import DLC from other games), the quest mode was cool, online was better than before, you could play two or more of the same instrument on co-op, etc.
For me, the top three are Legends Of Rock, GH5 and Warriors Of Rock. They had the most polished mechanics, the most content, and the best graphics and character models!
ive started playing the game again after like 8 years
I have guitar hero III installed on my PC still, just like GTA San Andreas. They're not the best games but they are perfect in what they provided
If they remade GTA San Andreas with the current graphics and GHIII with like all the songs you can think off, I'd really buy that
Oek Foh clone hero is basically that for free. You do need to look up tutorials on how to add songs because because it only has a couple built-in songs. But if you want easy way to add some songs I’ll just say a small tutorial. First go to the clone hero spreadsheet (I’ll post a link to it when I get to a computer) you can download a lot of songs off of it, and you can download different setlists with most of the guitar hero Games songs available to download. Then you just need to put the Files in the songs folder. That is in the clone hero folder when you download it. One of the main downsides of clone hero that turned away some people is that there aren’t background graphics but if you just want to Play a good guitar hero game, you should download clone hero. Make sure to look up tutorials to figure out how to set up the game. I hope you see this.
lol guess you got the definitive edition?
@@Djenx- ?
Still got Guitar Hero 2&3 with Guitar ditto for Rock Band and all 3 game , I also have 2 DJ hero Turn Table with DJ hero 1&2. I loved these back in the day and they will be fun to go back and use again over the years as funny time capsules.
I had guitar hero 3 while my brothers and cousins had the original and GT2 and I remember coming home for lunch in elementary just to play it and practise through the fire and flames lmfao good times
GH live is by far the worst. Should've kept it the same as all the other ones.
I'll tell you what happened to Guitar Hero. It was initially targeting an older, heavier base. Black Sabbath, Slayer, etc. When Activision purchased it, they had this bright idea of aiming to younger, mainstream bases, compare the setlists from GH1-2-3 and the following, GH5, Band Hero, GH Live, these last ones have lighter and more "pop-ish" songs that don't call to the consolidated fandom of GH, BRO KATY PERRY IS NOT SOMETHING TO PLAY ON A GUITAR FFS, WE PLAY ROCK AND HEAVY METAL ON A GUITAR. When Activision realized that they have bet on the wrong horse, they did the same crap they did to Singstar, close the servers that enabled people to have the chance to play the songs they were actually hoping to get, and kill the game. Now, people like me that played GH from the first game until the Guitar control/Controller allowed, can't even play it, or can barely do it because they are no longer fabricated, leaving us it secondhanded options that rarely function, and that makes me very sad because I really loved the game...
I think I was one of the few people who listened to dragon force and got super hyped when I found out they’d be on the game
Why is Acai the only Clone Hero RUclipsr you mentioned?
Randy, UKOG, Jason (not anymore, but), and many more.
@@cirava Jason will be back just you wait and see
And don't forget about darkly, the absolute madman that FCd Soulless 2 and Soulless 4
Yeah he should’ve mentioned I’m ukogmonkey Jason paradise and more
@@Lvng_Kvlt ExiLord....? He play Clone Hero and make The Soulless
GH3 was my first guitar hero game, LOVED it, World Tour was awesome and I went nuts customizing characters, and I really liked Warriors of Rock because you gotta love those character tf's. I got Live, and while I liked the realism, those controls, man.. not the same
BROO SAME
I bought so much music because of GH3. Slipknot, DragonForce, Metallica etc
I remember sitting on the couch eating chicken biscuits watching my dad play the game and now after several years im out here beating all of his Highscores
Not to mention the guitar that came with GH2 was the best on ever released. Kept it through the entirety of my "career", bought half a dozen more in between and none were as good as that one.
Also, impulse was the best song ever put on any guitar hero, change my mind.
An endless Sporadic. That song is reason to be.
I remember growing up with gh3 it honestly made me fall in love with the franchise
Meanwhile Fortnite festival is rock band 5 spiritual successor
Let's not forget that a PC RockBand did come out... But it was just RockBand 3 but in VR I guess... And you needed a RockBand 4 controller to play it... It was still a cool idea tho
Activision really like to ruin everything it touches, like a "reverse midas touch", just see what it is currently doing to Blizzard
Well, they made GH with GH 3, right? How did they ruin it if they made GH 3? Also, the other fellows went off and made Rock Band which is much worse (although drums and keyboard are great).
@@TheClassicWorld yeah thats one game to save a game company..
Legit i remember when Guitar Hero first came out my dad got it randomly on PS2 and man we both spent hours and hours playing I played more than my dad cause I was still a yougin at the time but when Guitar Hero II came out that’s when I dedicated my life to playing this and Rock Band lol man I miss these days tho this is what really brought me and my friends together sadly we don’t talk anymore but man I just miss these days being a teen in this era was the best 💜
You missed Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s. That was a demo-type game on the GH2 engine.
I believe it was on GH1 engine, as the HOPO's were a lot more strict than GH2. And it was released quickly due to the purchase of RedOctane, so Harmonix had to get it out before they were separated to Rock Band franchise.
GH2's "Jordan" by Buckethead is more difficult than "Through the Fire and Flames"
The recent World Tour mod has made me get into GH again, shits fun. Even with the ridiculous shit you can do like adding Luigi from Mario and making him sing Bohemian Rhapsody has breathed some nice fresh air into the game, at least for me.
3:29 "HE SAID IT"
*I love guitar hero and rockband back in the day and i was really excited in 2015 for the guitar hero live realease and rock band 4 i buy the gh live but*
It wasnt what i expected just it wasnt that funny it was cool at the begining but i get tired very quickly of the game
LEGO rock band it was the only one I played as a kid and just holds a ton of nostalgia
Man, I really wish they would bring back GH, if they did it right it could still be successful, they just tried too hard to innovate with Live
I'm glad they aren't going to make a new Guitar Hero. Rock Band is still alive and well for console play, and Clone Hero us an utter beast amongst PC. All we'd get out of a new GH is a shoddy, half-assed controller like the Live guitar
It makes me sad that gh live servers closed. Now it's just useless trash
GH Live was a slap in the face to all the fans. The franchise REALLY ended with Warriors Of Rock!
It really does suck, BUT. You can actually download every guitar hero live + TV song that's ever been released (and also unreleased songs!) and play them on Clone hero! There's a 6 button mode in the game and it works just fine. Plus it's stupid easy to hook up to your pc, since you can use the xbox 360 GHL dongle no matter what console guitar you have!
It was useless trash when they announced 3x2 buttons instead of 1x5
Guitar hero 3 is my fav and 2:04 I have that exact same guitar
Guitar Hero Warriors Of Rock is my favorite for much, I still playing it!!
That makes 2 of us
I just started playing it after a few years. It was my favorite of all GH games, I even preferred it over RB. I was happy when I found out they were gonna make a new GH but then got sad when it was GH live. It just wasn't the same. They could have just ported over the same graphics from WoR but added new songs. That would have been okay for me.
honestly rock band 1 was my favourite. I loved everything about it, including the campaign mode and saving up dollars for crazy looking outfits and instruments.
I think one of the things that made GHL fail so hard was pushing the background visuals. I guess they didn't realize that people usually care more about the gameplay, and not for what's happening in the back. Hence a lot of people just disabled them through mods and external configs (and also to get rid of the 60 fps lock).
4 years after this video uploaded I am here to say, Clone hero grew a lot and now lots of these guitars, specifically xbox360 and xbox one versions, are expensive everywhere. Drums too
Please learn to pronounce peripheral
Huh lol, per-riff-feral he has no excuse since he's American lol
Hearing per-iffy-al was killing me slowly
I have guitar hero Van Helen and still play it to this day
come on you skipped over the best one, Encore Rocks the 80s!
Drake BK oml
Joke??
@@thanatos5948 I know gh80s isn't the best gh, I just personally like it because I was able to find it for three dollars at a thrift store
Drake BK it had a great set list! One of my personal favourites
Drake BK ew gh3 was the best one :l
*cries in can't find guitars at goodwill anymore*
Unpopular opinion but World Tour is my favorite setlist.
World Tour has Tool songs in it, that automatically makes it the best set List!
nooo
Since my parents are metalheads, they bought me and my siblings Guitar Hero Metallica for christmas. It‘s now 13 years later and I‘m still playing it, because I am a metalhead myself. Sad to see, how it went downhill. „Sad but True“
I think it started to get over-saturated for me when they started reusing the same songs just with "updated" charts to the songs
Thank god for clone hero !
So basically around the time that Smash Hits was released.
Guitar Hero III also introduced original song tracks instead of covers.
TLDR for this video: Activision ruins everything.
The biggest problem warriors of rock had was that the guitar that came with it was garbage.
Oversaturation and the trend just dieing out certainly played a major part in it not selling well, but the main problem was reviewers were telling people not to buy it, because the guitar it came with just sucked. And if they couldn't get the controller right, what would make anyone think the game was any good?
And honestly that's kinda sad, because warriors of rock was arguably the best in the series. They made a guitar hero that catered to the hard core fans, and those ended up being the only ones that bought it.
I bought warriors of rock on release day, and poured thousands of hours into it. Great game. Terrible controller.
Xbox 360 is the best console ever to play Guitar Hero with his x plorer controller👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
The console transition during this time really helped guitar hero be fine tuned with its gameplay but the bigger transition mark had to be the switch from cover songs to master recordings.
